Topic: McDonalds Wants To Redefine "McJob"...literally

[IceFox]

http://consumerist.com/consumer/words/mcdonalds-wants-to-literally-redefine-mcjob-267309.php

Webster's dictionary defines McJob as, "a low-paying job that requires little skill and provides little opportunity for advancement," a definition that McDonalds' lobbyists are working overtime to overturn.

    The company is leading a "word battle" on behalf of the wider service sector. The object, according to David Fairhurst, a senior vice-president of McDonald's, is to change the definition of McJob to "reflect a job that is stimulating, rewarding ... and offers skills that last a lifetime."

The Oxford English Dictionary, which specifically notes that McJobs are "unstimulating," claims that they track the popular usage of words, and do not respond to pressure from interest groups. What do you think? Tell us in the comments. — CAREY GREENBERG-BERGER

I could never work at McDonalds... I do NOT want to ruin the "great" food I innocently think they serve by seeing how they make it.

But it can be a good job... as long as you don't work there for 40 years.

So glad I haven't been there in a couple months. I have to stop going there and stop being tempted.

What's to be tempted by? Look up "crap" in the dictionary and there is a McDonald's golden "M."

All I got from there was their Fish Filet...#11.

I want one so bad but I don't want to go there.

It was actually pretty good although I prefer BK's fish over McD's
